Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nursing goals for all individuals and their families seeking preventive care are improvement of quality of life through positive lifestyle choices and taking responsibility for health and wellness. Nurses can refer patients to a variety of personal health quizzes, located in the online version of Healthy People 2020, for risk assessments of their health status and lifestyle. The quizzes allow people to track their health and wellness status over a period of years and identify trends in disease risk factors that can be modified through lifestyle interventions or preventive measures before the disease occurs. The Healthy People 2020 initiative helps nurses provide educational materials for individuals, families, and communities, enabling them to lead healthier lifestyles and to make permanent changes in wellness habits.
